I just installed it but I don't know where it is. Can anyone help me? I've looked in a lot of places but I still don't know.
Look for devenv.exe, it should be at:
Visual Studio Community 2015
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
Visual Studio Community 2017
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE
Visual Studio Professional 2017
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE
For VS2019 it's now at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
I would say instead of looking at a predefined location for the installation which might change in future what you should do is as follows -
Search for visual studio in apps search
Right click and select "Open file location"
Once you have this shortcut, Right click on it and select and open properties and see the target field. This is your executable path.
For me it is -
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
Due to this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/compiler-options/how-to-set-environment-variables-for-the-visual-studio-command-line
Visual Studio location could be
\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Version\Offering or
\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Version\Offering
where Offering is one of Enterprise, Professional or Community, Version is 2019, etc
For VS 2022 it's now at (Program Files not Program Files x86):
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE
For VS 2020
"C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe"

I am using Visual Studio 2012 (Update 5) with MS Window Kits 8.0 and .NET Framework 4.5.51209. Recently, I also installed MS Window Kits 8.1.
Now, I have a file: '\windows kits\8.0\include\shared\iprtrmib.h' that failes to include 'mprapidef.h'.
That include file only exists at: '\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared\mprapidef.h', which is not in my include path.
My Visual Studio 'Include Directories' is set to: "$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath);".
These are my Visual Studio macros:
VCInstallDir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\
WindowsSDK_IncludePath: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\winrt
When searching, I found a slightly similar question: missing header file on a new installation of visual studio 2012
I tried repairing my Visual Studio installation. I do not want to change the 'Include Directories' for each of my projects. What else should I try?
I installed vs2015 and vs2012, then the same problem occurs,however, I find a solution.
open visual studio project settings,click VC++ Directories, find Include Directories,add the following line to it.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared
One may add the corresponding 8.1 paths to the environment variable.
Maybe it's necessary to do the same thing with the lib environment variable (WindowsSDK_LibraryPath_x86).
I may be going crazy here.
Visual Studio 2013 has float.h located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\float.h
There are references to float.h in the MSDN docs for Visual Studio 2015.
Yet in the directory Visual Studio 2015 is located at, there's no float.h:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include\float.h (doesn't exist)
Has it been removed?
I have installed Visual Basic PowerPacks 10.0. It appears as a Clickonce Prerequisite in Visual Studio 2010 but in Visual Studio 2013 Professional It has the yellow triangle next to it and an error is generated when I build my project.
Any help appreciated.
I found a work around. I went to the bootstrapper directory located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\
Visual Studio 2013 looks here for the bootstrapper packages: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\Bootstrapper\Packages\
Inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\Bootstrapper\ I found the VBPowerPacks folder and copied it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\Bootstrapper\Packages\
Not sure why VBPowerPacks does not automatically install in all Bootstrapper folders. That would have saved me a great deal of time.
I am pretty sure I installed VS 2012 Express on my new laptop a month ago. I even posted on Facebook about how I didn't like the default themes because the window borders were too light in color.
Now, I can't seem to find the VS 2012 Express installation. Where should I look?
I've looked for devenv.exe or any exe under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common\IDE and in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common\IDE.
Okay, I found it. The exe name is VWDExpress.exe and it is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common\IDE
If you are using the Ultimate version go to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE
and look for "devenv" with visualStudio Icon .
I had the same problem. I found it in
Local Disk > Program Files 86 > Common7 > IDE > WDExpress
It wasn't an .exe when I found it, it was an application that I launched.
I'm trying to create my first Silverlight application. It seems that it can't be debugged because Visual Studio 2010 uses the x86 'Remote Debugger'. It that I also have the x64 bit version installed in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64
But I can't find how I'm supposed to make VS 2010 use
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64
instead of
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86
Thank you.
